[Meaning] they were rejoicing over.[2] Aelian [writes]: "and some of his relatives were exulting over him on the grounds that they would inherit his estate.

Notes:
[1] Likewise in other lexica, from Hesychius onwards. The headword (which must be quoted from somewhere) is third person singular, present optative, of e)fh/domai (cf. epsilon 3892, epsilon 3893, epsilon 3907).
[2] cf. epsilon 3908.
[3] Aelian fr. 106 Hercher.
[4] Quotation (again at epsilon 3908) unidentifiable.
